Theo will miss Fiorentina’s match because to a miscommunication on the reconstruction.
Theo Hernandez received a somewhat confusing booking, which will keep him out of the Fiorentina match following the international break.
once Milan defeated Hellas Verona 3-1 away from home this afternoon, Theo scored the game’s first goal. However, once the celebrations were over, he was given a yellow card, meaning he will be sidelined for the following league game.
Given that Theo did not appear to do anything to merit a booking and instead just shrugged in front of the camera as he always does, DAZN (via MilanNews) has offered a reconstruction of what transpired.
They claim that the head coach of Verona, Marco Baroni, was informed of the incident by the team manager, who mistook the gesture for something aggressive and raced to the fourth official, Massimi, to report it.
When Theo saw what was happening, he gestured to the bench and staff in Verona, saying, “Let’s talk later.” The referee, who was obviously confused by what had happened, cautioned Theo, who was not buying it.
Theo proceeds to clarify matters with Baroni, stating that’s how he usually celebrates. After realizing his error, the Hellas coach expressed regret to the full-back. However, the damage is done, as Theo Hernandez will now be unable to make the Florence trip.
